Yep, let the chain begin...
Why didn't the owners negotiate that players caught with PEDs are subject to having their contract immediately voided. Now Milwaukee owes him $105M over 5 years (think it started last year), based on his performance on juice. Contract should be immediately voided. Even if the union fights the contract, if I was ownership, I would fight to pay him, stating the contract was entered into fraudulently. Braun misrepresented the product.
I agree...
WOW! I didn't realize this either. That's crazy...SO much can happen between now and then, and it just did!
IKR....lucky SOBPoor guy <<
With a shit ton of money who doesn't live in a trash can
agreed,..
his righteous attitude when he got off the 1st time was disgusting,....
here were some of braun's horseshit quotes,... after he escaped last yr...
"It hasn’t been easy. Lots of times I wanted to come out and tell the entire story, attack everybody like I’ve been attacked. My name was dragged through the mud. But at the end of the day I recognized what was best for the game of baseball.”
“Today is for anyone who has been wrongly accused and everyone who stood up for what’s right. It’s about future players and the game of baseball.”
“I will continue to take the high road. We won because the truth was on my side. I was a victim of a process that completely broke down and failed as it was applied to me in this case. Today’s about making sure this never happens to anyone else who plays this game.”
“We spoke to biochemists and scientists, and asked them how difficult it would be for someone to taint the sample. They said, if they were motivated, it would be extremely easy.”
“Ultimately, as I sit here today, the system worked because I was innocent and I was able to prove my innocence.”
